Copies nested in the Application Data folder

Running Windows 7 64 bit.  In my c:\Documents and Settings\All Users folder there is a folder of application data.  If I develop this folder I find what appears to be a complete copy of all the 'All Users' files, including another folder "Application Data".  If I develop this folder, I get another copy of everything, including (guess youe), "data Applications.  Extend only one, same thing... That's at least 27 levels.  What's happening?

Hello TucsonBill,

Welcome to the Microsoft Answers Forum!

(a) are you referring to the application data folder?

However we have folder AppData is hidden and Documents and settings can be found on the command prompt.

Try to run an online virus scan to remove the malware running on the computer, please scan online by visiting the following link:

http://OneCare.live.com/site/en-us/default.htm

In Windows Vista and Windows 7, the local settings and Application data have been replaced by a single folder, % userprofile%\AppData\Local.

In order to accomplish the appropriate redirection, you need two junctions:

(1) a junction of local settings, which will transmit programs going
%USERPROFILE%\Local settings in the new folder.

(2) the junctions of an Application Data * inside the new folder * that points to itself, to get the programs to access the data in % userprofile%\LocalSettings\Application.

If you think about it, it makes sense... when the program accesses local parameters, it will get passed in the folder, it should be in, however, it also accesses a folder named Application Data * in the correct folder it needs * (since it has already been redirected by the junction of local settings), so the junction of Application data should point to itself that things are working properly.

I suggest you check the security settings on your Application data junction (C:\users\yourname\appdata\local) (you will need to select display operating system files in folder options in Explorer window).

Go to the Security tab, click Advanced, then change and make sure that you see a refuse permission for everyone on the list.

If it is not a list, create a 'all' and check the box under Deny next of ' read the file / data list.

I hope this information helps. Please get back to us if you have any other questions on this subject.

Thanks and greetings

    The application data folder is supposed to be a hidden folder.  Applications and the operating system use this area to store the information needed to run these applications.

    You can display it by activating the display of hidden folders:

    Double-click any folder

    Then click on the check box "Show hidden files, folders and readers."

  • whay in local settings application data folder is to consume a lot of space?

    Why the application data folder in local contexts consumes a lot of data?

    From what I've seen myself the urlclassifier3.sqlite file will be of ~ 28 000 KB to ~ 55 000 KB over time. The offline Cache is rarely used by websites to store data, and the Cache file will increase in size, until the user clears the Cache. Difficult to indicate a number of maximum on the size of the Cache size, as I have not seen 'numbers' posted (available disk space is part of authorized size) and I have not used the same profile long enough without emptying the cache to see a size max.

    The application data folder is just a re - direct to the new version of the short name.  It is only there for compatibility, and since he is not a real file, you cannot open it.

    To get the files you want, you must do this:

    1. Press +R to display the race.
    2. Type %AppData% , and then click OK.

    You want to be able to migrate customizations to an application, I need to copy a folder of Documents and Settings/user/Application name Data on my old computer to the same location on my new machine.  However, the new computer is a Win7 OS.  I myself share rights to Documents and Settings and also user name given, but I can not activate myself share the Application Datafolder.   Without that access, I can't copy folder in Application Data.

    I read that Win7 use users instead of Documents and Settings folder, so I repeated the sharing changes to users and user name , but could not make changes to sharing for the folder/Users/user/Application Data name.

    Do not use any type of product, "anti-virus" or "anti-malware" on a Mac. It is never necessary for her, and relying on it for protection makes you more vulnerable to attacks, not less.

    You may have installed one or more variants of the Trojan 'InstallMac '. Please take the following steps to disable.

    The criminal behind this attack tries to make the malware difficult to remove by varying names of the files it installs. This procedure works now, I know. It will not work in the future. Anyone finding this comment a couple of days or more after it was published should look for a more recent discussion, or start a new one.

    Back up all data before proceeding.

    1 triple - click on the line below on this page to select, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination:

    ~/Library/LaunchAgents

    In the Finder, select

    Go ▹ go to the folder...

    from the menu bar and paste it into the box that opens by pressing command + V. You won't see what you pasted a newline being included. Press return. A folder named "LaunchAgents" opens.

    Press command-2 key combination to select the display of the list, if it is not already selected.

    There should be a column in the update Finder window. Click on this title to sort the content by date. This will make the related files easy to identify regardless of their names, because they will have the same modification date.

    2A inside of the folder that you just opened, there may be files with the name of all these forms:

    something. AppRemoval.plist

    Something.download.plist

    Something.ltvbit.plist

    Something.notification.plist

    Something.Update.plist

    Here, something is usually an empty string of sense, for example one of the following:

    Epolife

    InstallMac

    Javeview

    Kuklorest

    Manroling

    Otwexplain

    Here are examples, not a comprehensive list. The chain could be anything, and there might be more value of something. Looking for a group of files with the same date of change who match the description.

    Lately, the striker of "InstallMac" a were quick strings 'AppRemoval', 'download', 'ltvbit' and 'update' in the names of its records. For example, you might see file names such as these, instead of the above:

    something. AppVemoral.plist

    Something.dolnwoad.plist

    Something.btvlit.plist

    Something.uadpte.plist

    You may have more than one copy of the malware, with different values of something.

    Place all of these in the trash. If there are other files whose name begins with something, those in the trash also move. You can get a caveat that some files are locked; Delete them anyway.

    Once you've done that, we may not have anything left in the LaunchAgents folder; in this case, you can remove the folder, but otherwise does not delete it. Other files in the folder are not necessarily malicious (though they may be, if you have also installed another type of malware).

    Log off or restart the computer. The Trojan horse should now be inactive.

    3. This step is optional. Open the folder as in step 1:

    ~/Library/Application Support

    and move it to the trash of the subfolders with the name, something you found in step 2.

    Do not move the Application Support folder or anything else inside.

    4. open the Applications folder. If there is an element named something, or "Hell Zip", or with any of the other names listed in step 2, then drag it to the trash.

    If in doubt, press option-command-4 key combination to get the apps by date added. Look at the apps that have been added since you first noticed the problem. If there is one, that you don't recognize, drag it to the trash.

    You can get an alert that the item is locked. Confirm that you want to move to the trash.

    Empty the trash.

    If you receive an alert that the application is running, force it to quit.

    You may have installed ad-injecting malicious software ("adware").

    Do not use any type of product, "anti-virus" or "anti-malware" on a Mac. It is never necessary for her, and relying on it for protection makes you more vulnerable to attacks, not less.

    Save all data first.

    If you are not already running the latest version of Mac OS X, update or upgrade in the App Store you risk adware remove automatically. If you are already using the latest version, please log off or restart the computer. Still, some types of malware will be deleted, not all. There is no such thing as the automatic removal of all possible malware, either by OS X third party software. That's why you can't rely on software to protect you.

    If the malware is deleted in your case, you will still need to make changes to the way you use your computer to protect you from new attacks. Ask if you need advice.

    If the malware is not removed automatically, see below.

    This simple procedure to detect any type of adware that I know. Disabling is a procedure distinct and better still.

    Some legitimate software is funded by advertising and may display advertisements in its own windows or in a web browser while it is running. It's not malware and it may not appear. In addition, some Web sites display advertising intrusive popup that can be confused with adware.

    If none of your web browsers work well enough to carry out these instructions, restart the computer in safe mode. The malware will be disabled temporarily.

    Step 1

    Please triple - click on the line below on this page to select it, and then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination:

    ~/Library/LaunchAgents

    In the Finder, select

    Go ▹ go to the folder...

    from the menu bar and paste it into the box that opens by pressing command + v press return. Open a folder named "LaunchAgents", or you will get a notice stating that the file cannot be found. If the file is not found, proceed to the next step.

    If the folder opens, press the combination of keys command-2 to select the display of the list, if it is not already selected. Please don't skip this step.

    There should be a column in the update Finder window. Click this title two times to sort the content by date with the most recent at the top. If necessary, enlarge the window so that all the content show.

    Follow the instructions in this support article under the heading "take a screenshot of a window." An image file with a name starting in 'Screenshot' should be saved to the desktop. Open the capture screen and make sure it is readable. If this isn't the case, capture a small part of the screen indicating that what needs to be shown.

    Start a reply to this message. Drag the image file in the editing window downloading. Alternatively, you can include text in the response.

    Leave the case open for now.

    Step 2

    Do as in step 1 with this line:

    /Library/LaunchAgents

    The record which can open up will have the same name but is not the same as in step 1. In this step, the folder does not exist.

    Step 3

    Repeat with this line:

    /Library/LaunchDaemons

    This time the file will be called "LaunchDaemons."

    Step 4

    Open Safari preferences window and select the tab 'Extensions'. If the extensions are listed, post a screenshot. If there are no extensions, or if you cannot launch Safari, skip this step.

    Step 5

    If you use Firefox or Chrome browser, open the list of extensions and do as in step 4.

  • Why is the program data folder always items that I already deleted?

    Hello world

    I'm just looking through my files and discovered programs I already deleted months ago for always being in the program data folder, one of the files contain still 159 MB of data by blizzard, I released the disk space and defragged my computer several times since the game has been removed.

    So why is it?  If it's because the folder is hidden, why put non-essential data in there games so it cannot be deleted surely he isn't supposed to lose memory everything is there a reason I just can't think.

    Concerning

    Steve Willis

    I can't speak for what is why specifically uninstall the Blizzard was incomplete, but it was probably caused by the data directory containing the files generated by the users. Generally, uninstall programs will remove anything that program install utility created, but the files generated by the user and possibly some registry entries are left for manual removal. I guess this is done in the belief that you can be uninstalled in preparation for a reinstallation of the software and do not want to lose the data you created.

    A suggestion I can offer is to use Revo Uninstaller. There is a Freeware and a (paid) professional version. The Freeware edition is expected to be more than enough for your needs. The software quickly and completely uninstall the software that won't leave your computer and will ask you if you want to remove the common files (.) Dll, etc.), the entries in registry and files generated by the user without having to look yourself.

I shorted to try to bring the by virtue of the limitation of Windows 255 but the fact that JDeveloper creates the default domain in the folder 'C:\Documents and Data\JDeveloper\system11.1.1.1.33.54.07 XXXX', I lose 94 characters already deployment before the application files. The deployment is normally on the first pass, but afterwards, I have to manually delete the system11.x folder to deploy again. Any ideas or suggestion in addition to shorting packages etc...

    OK, my Question is simple, how do I change the default configuration of JDeveloper do NOT use the folder 'C:\Documents and xxxx Data'?

    Please advise,

    Hello

    Use SET JDEV_USER_HOME = to set your userhome on C drive.

    You can also start Jdev using jdev - su to create your system inside the folder /jdeveloper. This also creates your directory under jdeveloper mywork.

I want to restore (not update) my Firefox and Firefox Profile missing file. Also, I looked in my Time Machine backups, and there are no. FOLDER of FIREFOX in backups of library it.

    You have an "Old data Firefox" folder on the desktop?

    When you refresh/Reset Firefox then created a new profile and some personal data (bookmarks, history, cookies, passwords, data form) are automatically imported.
    The current profile folder will be moved to "Old data Firefox" folder on the desktop.
    Installed extensions and other customizations (toolbars, Pref.) that you have made are lost and must be redone.

    You can use one of them to retrieve an existing profile or create a new default profile for Firefox:

    • Remove the profiles.ini file to make Firefox create a new profile (default)
    • Use the Profile Manager to create a new profile
      If you have an existing profile, then click on "Choose a folder" in the Profile Manager and navigate to the location of a profile lost to recover this profile
      https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/managing+profiles

    You should find the file profiles.ini in this hidden place:

    • Windows: %AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\
      * C:\Users\ < user > \AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\
    • Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox /.
    • Linux: ~/.mozilla/firefox/

    If the file profiles.ini compensation does not work then also check the location of the cache files.

    • Windows: * C:\Users\ < user > < profile > \AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\.
    • Mac: ~/Library/Caches/Firefox/Profiles/
    • Linux:~/.cache/Mozilla/Firefox/

  • What is dwm.exe file I found suddenly in my application data folder?

    I had problems with my hung on a file named dwm.exe anti-virus software.  I go back there since last night windows prefetch file.  I have no idea what this file is located, I can't draw any type of file association properties and whenever I try to move it to the trash, I get a message saying that I can't access because it is used.  When I go to Task Manager and stop the process, it simply appears again a few minutes later just return in application, but not associated with a particular program data folder.  Avast is not seen as a virus when parsing, but it keeps popping up as the source of several warnings of malware by the anti-virus program.  What the devil am I going here?

    If you have Vista - even if you have posted in forum Windows XP - dwm.exe is the Vista Desktop Window Manager and is responsible for the graphic effects to Microsoft Windows Vista operating system such as the live previews of windows 3D effects and transparencies to windows.

    What version of Windows you have, including the service pack?

    Do not include in C:\Windows\prefetch... those who are not 'real' files but are used by Windows for loading of the speed of the applications.  Do not delete something \prefetch with the idea that doing so will improve performance.  It will not.

    You say that your anti-virus software warns of this file, but then say that "Avast sees a virus during the scanning."  If you simultaneously run two anti-virus applications, don't.  Choose a.

    What antivirus and anti-malware applications do you use?  That are configured to run all the time (that is, in the background scan)?

    This program complains dwm.exe and what is the exact message?

    Finally, it is always possible that the malware has disguised himself using a legitimate file name.  Where is (other than \prefetch) location dwm.exe?  Right click and take a look at its properties and its relationship to what you see.  If not in C:\Windows\system32, there probably IS malware.
